Brabas de Veluca

Brabas de Veluca (1776-) was a Chilean outlaw during the early 19th century. In 1814, General Bernardo O'Higgins sent Javier Pando to hunt down Brabas, who was believed to be in hiding at Linares. Pando confronted Brabas, demanding that he come along quietly, but Brabas refused, instead showing his superior swordsmanship by wounding Pando and fleeing. Pando was forced to report his failure to O'Higgins, demoralizing him.
